Cbc.

The first general meeting of the Society was held at 6-30 p.m. on Saturday, January 26th, in the lecture theatre.

J. H. Stevenson, Esq., was elected a Vice-President to fill the vacancy caused by the departure of W. H. G. Milnes, Esq.

After the business was finished, the Society was given a lecture-demonstration on the " Electric Current," by C. R. Featherstone, Esq. The differences between direct and alternating currents were clearly shown by a series of interesting experiments. One, showing the number of cycles in alternating current, yielded the very creditable result of 52 cycles per second. (The actual number of cycles is 50.) It may be of interest to know that when this experiment was conducted by Sir William Bragg, during one of his Christmas lectures at the Royal Institute, the result obtained was 47 cycles, which is not so good as that obtained by C. H. Vasey, who actually carried out the experiment. J. M. Dickenson and R. White also helped in the demonstration.

On Saturday, March 2nd, the Society was given a lecture on " Astronomy," by A. W. Ping, Esq. Although Mr. Ping is not an astronomer he takes a keen interest in the subject, and, consequently, was able to deliver a very entertaining lecture. There were numerous slides, including half-a-dozen amusing, but instructive rack-work slides, by means of which a moving picture was cast on to the screen.

Mr. Ping spoke with all his usual joviality, and, thanks to him, the Society spent a very pleasant evening.

At 6-30 p.m. on Thursday, March 7th, the Society had the privilege of hearing a lecture delivered by Mr. A. E. Bromehead, M.A., F.G.S., on " Ancient Mines." Mr. Bromehead is a geologist of repute, and at present is engaged in the important work of surveying and mapping certain Yorkshire coalfields. The lecture was well illustrated by lantern slides

After the lecture J. H. Stevenson, Esq., proposed a hearty vote of thanks.

At the time of going to Press we are looking forward to hearing a lecture by S. K. Kazerooni on " The Story of Oil," which will be illustrated by slides kindly lent by the Anglo-Persian Oil Co., Ltd.

" Che Curtain."

Behind " The Curtain " there lies no new drama ; it rises to reveal, not Shakespeare in modern dress, so much as a former play-reading society in a fresh setting. True it is that the actors are new and the decor variable, but when the limelight is turned on, it will be seen that we are really just satisfying an inherent desire to play the fool, the hero, or the villain according to our several necessities and abilities.
